Set up walls to create barriers against projectiles, forcing Richter to approach you on the ground where you can better control the space. Be mindful of Richter's recovery; use your blocks to gimp him when he tries to return to the stage, and capitalize on your ability to trap him with well-timed aerials or combos.
